Configuring a Simple Event Handler Action

Designer 10.5 | webMethods CAF and OpenUI Development | Working with CAF Events and Notifications | Creating an Event Handler | Configuring a Simple Event Handler Action

You can specify the actions that govern the behavior of an event handler in the run-time environment by choosing from a list of predefined (simple) actions.

Note:
If you find you cannot create the action you want with the simple actions that are available, you can create an advanced (custom) action expression. For more information, see Configuring Advanced Condition and Action Expressions.
